Lyofoam is a polyurethane foam wound dressing used in the
treatment of light to moderately exuding wounds such as leg ulcers,
pressure sores, post-operative and traumatic wound sites, burns and skin
grafts.
Lyofoam is a layer of polyurethane foam,
heat-treated on one side to provide a smooth and hydrophilic absorbent
wound-contact layer.
Lyofoam meets all the criteria for the ideal wound dressing:
maintains moist wound micro-environment, removes excess exudate, permits
gaseous exchange, provides thermal insulation, avoids trauma at
dressing changes, is impermeable to micro-organisms and is free from
particulate and toxic contaminants.
